Backendless

Backendless is a visual app development and backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform that exposes a full set of REST APIs for data persistence, user management, file storage, publish-subscribe messaging, push notifications, geolocation, caching, and atomic counters, plus serverless Cloud Code (custom API services and timers). Requests are authenticated with an application id and REST API key carried in the URL path and a user-token header for authenticated sessions.
